The Speech Discours of Strangeness in Mapuche Huilliche Poetry

Abstract

Speech are a Social construction which brings about, distribute, empower and transforms knowledge. In this social circulation, discourse is poured into different genres, be they referential or literary. We are interested in a reflection over one of these types of discourse which we have called the speech of strangeness —emanating from ―De Chilensibus, a poem from the book Arco de interrogaciones (by Bernardo Colipán)— whose emergence is situated in the chronicler´s texts and is discontinuously entertwined to appear, in reality, refloated in huilliche poetry, now as an appropriated discourse, translated and placed in evidence in the inestability of its logical structure and in the game of confronted historicities.
